BAGGING DEVICE.

Application filed November 19, 1928. rSerial No. 320,388;

This invention relates to bagging devices shown there isprovided ay basewliich con-` and has special reference to a device arsists'of an annular member 10 having cross ranged to hold a bag in upright and open pobars .11 secured by their ends thereto iso that" sition for filling. a species of grating is formed.

Similarly, rings 27 connect the side edges of the strip to the uprights 12, the strip being formed in such manner that it may'bulge outwardly at its lower end to fitV over the half hoops on one side or the other of the device and assume the position shown by the dotted lines in Figure 2.

It will now be obvious that the bag, whatever its height, may be held in upright open position with its bottom resting on the base of the invention and that the screen 25 may be adjusted to either side of the hagas may be most convenient. Then the bag may be filled from the side opposite the screen, which may be called the front, and there will be no danger that articles placed therein will roll over the opposite edge or back lof the bag.

The eye 15 may beused to connect to a hoist or scales as is found desirable.

There has thus been provided a simple and eieient device of the kind described and for the purpose specified. y

It is obvious that minor changes may be made in the form and construction of the invention without departing `from the material spirit thereof.y It is not, therefore, de- 'sired to confine the invention to the exact form herein shown and described, but it is desired to include all suchas properly come within the scope claimed.

Having thus described theinvention, what is claimed as new, is:

l. In a bagging device,'a pair of standards, bag edge clampingv hoops carried by said standards, and a flexible shield attached at its sides to said standards and having its lower portion engaging theioutside of a respective hoop. Y

2. In a bagging deviee,a pair of standards, bag edge clamping hoops carriedA by said standards, a fiexible shield attached at its sides to said standards and having its lower kportion engaging the outside of a respective hoop, and a cross bar at the top of said standards to which the upper edge of the shield is attached.

3.V In a bagging device, .a base, apair of standards extending i upwardly from said base, oppositely disposed pairs of bag edge clamps supported from said standards, the members of each pair being concentrically Varcuate and pivoted together at their ends, means to clamp the membersof each pair in bag holding position, and a flexible shield attached at its sides to said standards above clamps and havingy its lower edge engaging the outer member of a selected pair of clamping members.

4. In a bagging device, a base, a pair of `standards extendingv upwardly from said base, oppositely disposed pairs of bag edge clamps supported from said standards, the members Vof each pair being concentrically arcuate and pivoted together at their ends. means to clamp the members of each pair in VILLIAM J OS.
